Hi Francois,
We had discussed having a more complete record of actions in ChimeraX than in Chimera, but currently all you can do is save the log or command history. The advance so far is that clicking several of the ChimeraX icons to do something will put the corresponding command in the log (but not the command history). You can save the log as HTML, but the links do not execute the commands; instead they open the manual pages for the commands.
We already have a ChimeraX ticket (request) #917 to allow saving the Log with the commands as executable instead of links to manual pages, but it has not been implemented.
<https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/trac/ChimeraX/ticket/917>
We had discussed making more of the GUI buttons have equivalent commands, not just these icons. However, even if those distinct actions are also logged, things like moving structures by hand would not be logged.
It is OK to ask here on the Chimera-users list, but just so you know, there is also a ChimeraX list chimerax-users at cgl.ucsf.edu you could use for ChimeraX-specific topics.
I hope this helps,
Elaine
